Classification of the World’s Major Religions - Dr Zakir Naik

COG-2

The Worlds Major Religions can be broadly classified and divided into Semitic Religions and the Non Semitic Religions.

The Semitic Religions are those Religions which are followed by the Semites. Who are the Semites? The Semites are the descendents of ‘Shem’. And it’s mentioned in the Bible, in the Old Testament, in the Book of Genesis, Chapter No. 5 to 11, ‘Shem’ is mentioned there and he is the son of Prophet Noah Alaihe Salaam (Peace be upon him). So Semitic Religions are those Religions, which are followed by the Semites, descendents of ‘Shem’ the Jews, the Arabs, the Asyrians, the Phoenicians - who speak the language Hebrew, Arabic, Aramaic, Phoenicians, etc. The major amongst the Semitic Religions are, Judaism, Christianity and Islam.

The Non Semitic Religions can be further divided into Aryan Religions and the Non Aryan Religions. The Aryan Religions are those Religions which are followed by the Aryans - a powerful group of Indo-European speaking people who originated from Iran and Northern India, in the first half of the 2nd Millennium, that’s 2000 to 1500 B.C.

The Aryan Religions can be further divided into Vedic Religion and the Non - Vedic Religions. The Vedic religion is that religion in which the people follow the Vedas. And it’s today called as a misnomer as Hinduism or Brahaminism. But the right word should be a Vedantik’.

The Non-Vedic Religions are those Aryan Religions which do not follow the Vedas like Sikhism, Jainism, etc. And Zoroastrianism also happens to be an Aryan Religion which is not associated with Hinduism.

The Non-Aryan Religions, they are divided depending upon their origin, for example, those that originated from China, like ‘Confucianism’, like ‘Taosim’, those that originated from Japan, like Shintoism etc. But most of these Non Aryan Religions, they do not have a concept of God and they are more often referred to as ethical systems. That’s the reason as far as my talk today is concerned, the Concept of God in Worlds Major Religions, I will be discussing about ‘Aryan’ religions and the ‘Semitic’ religions.

1.The Prophet peace be upon him said "Whosoever recites Durood Sharief on me 10 times in the morning and evening, I will intercede for him on the day of Qiyamah." (TIBRANI)

2. Whoever reads Surah Ikhlas ten times, Allah will build a palace for him in Paradise. ‘Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) exclaimed, “If that’s the case, then we will increase in our palaces!” The Prophet ﷺ (may the peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) responded, “Allah is better and greater (in reward).” [Ahmad]
3. Whoever reads Surat al-Kahf on Friday, it will act as a light/protection for him from one Friday to the next. [Bayhaqi]

4. Whoever performs their ablution carefully and then affirms (their faith by testifying): “Ash-hadu al laa ilaha il Allah wahdahu laa shareeka lahu wa anna Muhammadan `abduhu wa rasuluh, Allahumma-ja’lni min at-tawaabeen waj-a’lni min al-mutatahireen”: ‘I testify that there is no true deity except Allah Alone, Who has no partners, and that Muhammad ﷺ is His slave and Messenger; O Allah, make me from those who repent and purify themselves’ – the eight gates of Jannah are opened for him so he may enter through whichever of these gates he desires.[Tirmidhi]

5. Whoever says: “Radheetu billahi Rabba, wa bil Islaami Deena, wa bi Muhammadin Nabiyya” – ‘I am pleased with Allah as my Lord, and with Islam as my Religion, and with Muhammad as my Prophet, ’ Paradise would be (made) mandatory for him. [Abu Dawud]
6. Whoever asks Allah for Paradise three times (Allahumma inni as’alukal-Jannah), then Paradise will say: “O Allah!

9. Narrated from Abu Hurayrah that the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) said: “There is a soorah of the Qur’an, with thirty verses, that interceded for a man until he was forgiven; it is ‘Soorah Tabaarak Alladhi bi yadihi’l-mulk (Blessed is He in Whose Hand is the dominion)’ [al-Mulk 67:1].”

10. Say this 3 times for 6 hours worth of reward: Subhan-Allah Wa bihamdihi, ‘adada khalqihi, wa rida-a nafsihi, wa zenatee ‘arshihi, wa midada kalimatihi(Allah is free from imperfection and I begin with His praise, as many times as the number of His creatures, in accordance with His Good Pleasure, equal to the ink that may be used in recording the words (for His Praise).” (Muslim)

[fourqanealhaqq]

DEMONSTRATION OF THE EXISTENCE AND ONENESS OF GOD

1- introduction and divine uniqueness

2-existence of God

3-rules of application.



1- First of all, let us define reason and see its reliability: reason consists in understanding, ordering, prohibiting or administering through its distinction between good and evil to reach the reasonable one who serves and does not serve.

Let's see if reason is reliable:everyone of good reason confirms that reason is educated by its environment from a young age in order to distinguish good from evil, true from false, it starts with: fire or needle hurts, milk makes good, then truth and lie, with internal and external verification by experience, then we generalize to the extension of reason (like happiness and unhappiness) and to the abstract by returning from time to time to the experience of reason by recognized examples, so we can say that reason is reliable.

As for the ego, the self, it has its importance in my subject, because it compares and seeks (in cooperation with the reason) the ideal, the most powerful because the top is the most reasonable for him otherwise if a strong thing is not enough for him, he will get tired of it and look for something stronger than it, he'll be unhappy, in relative insecurity, because he's looking for the solid pillar, hence the expression "in myself something" to say that it's not satisfactory.

Definition of worship in religion: to submit oneself to a being or a thing by love and veneration, to believe that it is useful and harmful (we see the link with the definition of reason and its combination with the ego and that then we live to worship anything and in a correct and reasonable way we seek "summit" happiness (for the ego, the summit is the most satisfying for the heart-ego) through that being or that thing since we take the reasonable).

Definition of a god:a god is a being or a thing that we worship or is worshipful (worshipful=which deserves to be worshipped), we will be satisfied (this is the goal) to take the definition of a god as a being or a thing that is worshipful

Equivalence "a god" and "he is a creator (from nothing)":

A creator (from nothing) is a god: everything around us is made up of already existing elements, so creation from nothing is superior and it is the most impressive form of creation so it is summit (the heart and the ego confirm), so any creator from nothing is a god.

Every god is a creator: if a god was not a creator then he would not deserve to be a god because God the Necessary Being (see part 2) is a creator (the creator see 2), therefore superior to that god, therefore that god does not deserve (for reason and ego) to be a god, he does not bring anything more, hence every god is a creator.Hence the equivalence.

God the creator, the necessary being is the summit for the heart-ego: if he had a superior then that superior would be unknown, erased, moreover for the heart-ego it would imply that the necessary being is no longer a god (the heart-ego sees higher) therefore no longer a creator whereas it is the necessary being (contradiction) therefore that superior is not a god therefore is not a creator therefore God is uncreated and is at the summit.

God is unique: if there were two different gods (at the summit), then either their will is different, then either each god applies his will (as they are gods it applies to the whole universe (not erased god)) then it is impossible (if their will is different at the same point), seeing the universe as it is without defect, and it is harmonious, and If one of the two gods imposes his will on the other, then the other is weak and therefore is no longer a god (contradiction), so their will coincides on everything, so it means that one flatters (strokes) the other, so it makes the ego-heart feel a weakness of this god in its power, so is no longer a god, so there is only one god, or again: if the two gods have their will which coincides in every point, then they constitute a god of their union but God being at the top (the ideal), an indivisible god who creates, possesses and administers everything by himself is more impressive than several gods together, hence God is unique in every case. This reasoning applies even if there is a universe we do not know, because God (worshipful) must act everywhere otherwise he is no longer a god.

2-existence of God:

There is an administrator for the universe:any example:a palace hyper organized in decorations, arrangements, household, if you are told:this palace does not have a butler(administrator), you will answer:it is not possible that it happens by itself without anybody, your distinctive healthy reason rejects it (you are not crazy), therefore all the more so (a fortiori): (organization much, much better than the palace) all the organization and harmony of nature and the universe make you reject that there is no administrator for the whole universe (we can already say that it is unique, the cycles and others are the mark of the same author, for example nike is the mark of a single manufacturer, example of all the atoms of the universe same process therefore same mark therefore same author), so there is an administrator for the whole universe, and even it is obliged to think that otherwise it is chaos, . ..and many many other examples like the ship without a captain, ... there is a creator of the universe: You see a humanoid walking around and you're told no one created him. You're not crazy. Your reason will reject that.So a fortiori, all the more so Your good reason will reject that man has no creator.So There is a creator of the universe, and so on throughout creation, but again the whole universe has the same mark (like nike), so the same author, so the creator is unique and the administration of his creation is the same (layout, arrangement of the way of creating) so the creator is the administrator. As He is unique, He is the great owner of the universe, and He is the one who makes the rules of the universe (such as the instructions of the electrical appliances (operation, maintenance), so it has been proved that the universe has one Lord (the Creator, the owner and the administrator) and He is the only one who deserves to be worshipped, so He is the only God. Otherwise, as God the Creator is at the top, He is also the owner and the administrator. All this is the domain of the reasonable and if you come out of it you are no longer in the reasonable (chaos).

Conclusion: Divine existence and oneness are then demonstrated by reason, but reason does not say everything that God wants from us, hence the prophets and messengers.



3- Application: The verse of the Qur'an that says that there is no god except Allah means that there is no one worthy of worship except Allah, so it means that there is no imperfection on any face, so the Qur'an, its word, has no imperfection since it is one of its characteristics and therefore one face of its perfection, Therefore, by the perfection of the Qur'an (read it in Arabic to see this reality and its explanation) and the uniqueness of the true (you must respect the rules of this book if you are honest) you must take the best interpretation of the verses and the Sunnah (path) of the Prophet (the Qur'an calls to follow the Prophet therefore apply his hadiths (hadiths=words in Arabic) and you must reconcile between the verses (of the Qur'an) and the verses, and verses/hadiths hadiths/hadiths (authentic) because the truth is quite unique and the best sought after is perfection (so correct yours intentions), for example the thief the penalty starts at 1/4 gold dinar, it costs (recently) 39€ for its weight in gold whereas a meal costs 5€, source: the pious predecessors (rule: the Koran says to follow the prophet and the prophet spoke of the first three generations which are the best and he said (ask your heart for clarification), and Allah calls in the Koran to the good and known between the good people (conciliation), etc, . .go on with the rest of the rules of Islam if you are honest (seek the best, perfection, truth, conciliation).

There are rules in Islam and if you don't follow them you find imperfections (which reflect your bad intention), while when you correct your intention you find perfection (it exists, scholars communicate it to each other, I have been reading books about Islam in Arabic for a long time, I testify and I testify that this perfection exists. Why don't you take it if it is possible and the rules of Islam are to take it, hence your attacks are unfounded since this is not what God and his prophet mean (i.e : your words that it is imperfection). ..

Ibn Umar reported: The Prophet, peace and
blessings be upon him, said, "Verily, Allah
accepts the repentance of his servants, as
long as they are not on their death bed."
Source: Sunan al-Tirmidhī 3537
Grade: Hasan (fair) according to Al-Albani

"O My servants who have transgressed
against themselves [by sinning]l, do not
despair of the mercy of Allah. Indeed, Allah
forgives all sins. Indeed, it is He who is the
Forgiving, the Merciful."
If you fear the punishment of Allah why
dont you ask Allah for all your minor and
major sins that you have done recently or in
your past?
What if we die today?Imagine yourself
getting punished in the Grave because of
your sins!?
My brother's and sisters turn back to Allah
before you return back to him.

66.8. O you who believe! Turn to God in
sincere and reforming repentance. It is
hoped that your Lord will blot your evil
deeds from you and admit you into Gardens
through which rivers flow, on a Day when
God will not disgrace nor disappoint the
Prophet and those who believe in his
company. Their (the believers') light will
shine and spread before them, and on their
right hands, as they say: "Our Lord! Perfect
our light (by Your grace, so that we may
reach Paradise), and forgive us. Surely You
have full power over everything!"
We can die today or tomorrow.
What is it that is stopping you from asking
Allah for forgiveness ? Satan?
Raise your Hands and ask Allah for
forgiveness sincerely. Know that Allah is the
most merciful!He forgive all sins!

'
INVITE ALL TO THE WAY OF THY LORD WITH WISDOM AND BEAUTIFULL PREACHING AND ARGUE WITH THEM IN THE WAYS THAT ARE THE BEST AND MOST GRACIOUS '.
(Surah Nahl ch:16, V/s:125)
It's the duty of every muslim to do Dawah.
Dawah means a call or an invitation. In Islamic context it means to strive for the propagation of Islam.
We love our non-muslim brothers and sisters, and that's why we want them to come towards the truth so we can enter Jannah together 🤲 . .

Al-Abbas (R.A.), the uncle of the Prophet (ﷺ), came to the Prophet (ﷺ) and said:  “Ya Rasulullah, teach me a du’a.”  The Prophet ( ﷺ) said: “O my uncle, say:

ALLAHUMMA INNI AS’ ALUKA AL’AFIYAH
O Allah, I ask you for afiyah

Learn this dua if you dont already know it.

What is Afiyah?

Afiyah means:

To be saved from any afflictions

To be healthy

To have enough money

To live

To have your children protected

And if you are forgiven and not punished, you are in afiyah.

So basically,  Afiyah means:  “O Allah, protect me from any pain and sufferings.”  This includes both dunya and akhirah.

Al-Abbas (R.A.) thought about this for a while, and then he came back after a few days and said (paraphrased):  “Ya Rasulullah, this du’a seems a little short. I want something big.”

The Prophet (ﷺ) said: “My dear uncle, ask Allah for Afiyah for Wallahi,  you cannot be given anything better than afiyah.”

It is a simple du’a.

Sincerely mean what you say while praying.  “O Allah, I ask You to be saved from any: distress,  grief,  hardship,  harm, and don’t test me, etc.”

All of this is included in (Riyadh As Saliheen, Sunan At-Tirmidhi).

[imranshaik]

Prophet's ﷺ frequent dua to ask for goodness in this world and hereafter:* 🤲🏼

Narrated by Anas: The most frequent invocation of The *Prophet (ﷺ)* was: 

*اللَّهُمَّ رَبَّنَا آتِنَا فِي الدُّنْيَا حَسَنَةً، وَفِي الآخِرَةِ حَسَنَةً، وَقِنَا عَذَابَ النَّارِ*
Pronunciation:
*Allahumma Rabbana atina fid-dunya hasanatan wa fil 'akhirati hasanatan waqinna 'adhaban-naar*

_"O Allah! Give to us in the world that which is good and in the Hereafter that which is good, and save us from the torment of the Fire."_

People enter Hell from three gates:
1. The gate of doubts because it leads them to doubt the religion of Allaah.
2. The gate of desire, because it leads them to favor desires over the obedience of Allaah.
3. The gate of anger, because it leads them to transgress against others.

But Lord Jesus Christ made PEACE by giving HIs own life to His enemy and praying to God to forgive His enemy to save people, who believe him and trust him, from burning in Hell Fire, for punishment of sins. This PEACE which came out of LOVE and sacrifice like Lord Jesus Christ, is lasting PEAC. PEACE of the Lord be to everybody.
